To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, RAY CANNDN and STANLEY GRAY, citizens of the United States, residing at Paisley, in the county of Lake and State of Uregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tire-Vull.canizing Attachments for Automobiles, of

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pneumatic tire repairing, and pertains especially te a vulcanieing` device applicable to motor vehicles for vulcanizing patches in repairing tires.

The object of the invention is to provide a vulcanizing device adapted to be applied to and be carried upon the cylinder or exhaust pipe for repairing tires.

A further object of the invention is to provide a tire repair vulcanizing attachment for motor vehicles whereby the vulcanizer is constantly heated by the part of the vehicle or motor to which the vulcanizer is attached.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a novel and peculiar device, at-

tachable to certain heated partsof a vehicle motor for heating the device preparatory to vulcanizing repair of tires applied to said device.

Various other objects, advantages and improved results are attainable in the practical application and utilization yof this vulcanizing attachment.

In the accompanying drawings forming part oi' this application z-Figure l isa top view of a chassis with the hood partly broken away showing the application ofthe invention, Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations showing the device as applied to the exhaust pipes of various motors. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of 'part of a motor jacket or -cylinder showing another form of the lvulcanizing device applied thereto, Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the vulcanizer shown in Figs; 2 and 3, with the cap plate raised for inserting a tire to be repaired. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of part of the vulcanizer shown` in Fig. l. Fig. 7 is a sectional view showing a tire clamped forvulcanizing.

The same reference characters denote the same 'parts throughout the several views of the Y drawings.

The vulcanizer is preferably intended to be permanently attached in operative position so, that it may always be ready or in lcondition and position to repair punctured or fractured tires, by merely removing such Specification vof Letters Patent.

tire from the vulcanizer.

A.The vulcanizing device as applied to the exhaust pipes A and B, of the motors partly shown in Figs. 2 and 3 respectively, comprises a metal block member 4, having a concaved or seinicircular under face I5, adapted to fit over a pipe as A and B, and provided with side iianges 6 having holes for the screw endof pipe binders?, which are provided with suitable nuts 8. The member il: has a smooth fiat upper face 9, and clamping bolts 10 project from each end of the face 9, and are provided with suitable thumb nuts 11. The device further-f comprises a metallic cap or clamping plate 12,-prefen ably of the saine size as the upper face 9, and said plate has holes 13 through which the bolts l() extend. The plate l2 is provided with a suitable handle 14, for vremoving and replacing the plate, in applying a tire l5 between the plate and the block in The device as applicable to a cylinder or water jacket as 16, has only one side ange wheel and applying it to the r 'iii 17, and the under face 18 ot the block i9 is beveled and shaped to conform with the l surface of the cylinder o r raised jacket 19 and said Hangs is secured by the usual set motor, and inajf'be utilized or` patching or l repairing n spare tire during travel of the vehicle.

In applying a tire for vulcanizing, the

cap plate is removed and the punctnred or defective portion of the tire ispiaced upon the block with a vulcanizable patching material or compound, and the cap plate isv screwed down for clamping the saine during the process of vulcanizing, then the cap plate is .lifted and lthe tire removed. This operation may be carried out without stoppinfl', as usual, for repairing tires. i

We do not wish to confine our invention 'as Ato size, shape or niateriaLcnor-do we wish to be understood as limiting ourselves in the application of the invention, but reserve the right to make such changes and variations in the devices, and in the application thereof to Such part or parts oli' :in engine or vehicle motor :is muy come within the scope. of the appended claim.

Having thus described om' invention wlmi; We claim as new and desire to seen re by Letters Patent is A vulcanizing attachment for vehicle motor engines, comprising n solid block adapted to be permanently fixed to and carried by a heated portion of the engine in vuleanizing position, said block having a 'flat top forming the outer face of the block top, :1nd a. coneau inner face, the side wall
